...before they have even begun to think of abnegation. This comes, of course, from the fact that universities and colleges have quadrupled their enrollments and they have to bid high for even the poorest of staff. We cannot do a great deal about this, immediately, but we can stop blaming the deficit on Anglo-Saxon and Sanskrit, on research papers and the writing of books, and on concentration on periods of interest which are not strictly contemporary. Only too frequently knowledge of the contemporary is quite a bore, and it offers very limited perspective. I should like to take...
...Israelis have won few friends among the Cairo-oriented Gaza Arabs. The natural hostility of the conquered is heightened by the fact that the Israelis react harshly to terrorist incidents. They dynamite scores of Arab homes, detain hundreds of suspects, impose long and frequent curfews, and at times even stop food distribution.

The illusion of airy weightless ness thus engendered permitted viewers, in the words of the show's organizer, Ralph T. Coe, to "leap straight into the fourth dimension, experiencing what the astronauts have described when they walk in space." Still better, as far as the frazzled gallerygoers were concerned, everyone could leap straight out of the fourth dimension without having to worry about...
